consider That hundreds of men in New York
have been watching heir Villainy for months
aud collecting information leading in the
direction of Sing Sing. 1t did not occur to
these mariners who taught navigation in
Washington barrooms that the Herald had
sent hell dozen reporters to investigate the
Pocshontas conspiracy. A Herald reporter
went TO Alexandria and found that the ship
had never been started not foot of the
keel had been laid nor a pound or iron
brought 10 the yard. On returning to New
York the reporter was told by the secretary
of the company that the great enterprise
was booming that it had made Alexandria
grow from village to busy city within
year; that twenty five men were then at
work at the ship; that all the iron had been
ordered and would arrive OF Alexandria in
few days and q large force of men added
to those already there, and the Pocahontas
pushed to speedy completion"
The Herald editorially to-day says tit has
made three separate investigations of the
Pocahontas swindle 1t has Interviewed
citizens in Alexandria, Washington, Balii
more and New York. They ell agree, aad
entirely outside of Mr.. Lancaster's affidavit
the Herald has found the Arrow steamship
scheme bubble 1t is to be hoped that the
victims will begin suits against the bunco
managers of the scheme and teach them q
lesson they will remember"
Messrs Widdecomb, Connolly and Wocd
Of the Arrow Company were seen by re-.
porter of the GAZETTE to day. They said
the article in the Herald was a tissue Of
falsehoods and an effort inspired by foreign
capitalists and steamship lines 10 crush out
an American enterprise. They said that
Lancaster was an unpiiucipled E0glishman
who had served term Of imprisonment in
England and had been kicked cut of the
company last April, since which time. he
has been trying to damage the company.
They say the Herald will be sued for $4,000.
COO damages Mr.. Widdecomb said the
company was building the ship like the
Catholics built their churches-build as far
as their money would 60, and then wait Till
| they got more money.
Mr. Park Agnew says that the Arrow
Steamship company had fulfilled every con
| tract he had known it to make and thathe
| bad the utmost confidence in its ultimate
success.
Mr. j. 2. Agnew said he was surprised at
the article; in his relations with Mr.. Fryer
he had good impression of him and had
great faith in the plan OF his ship; Mr.. Fry
er might be over snneuine as most inventors
are, but he was willing to afford facilities
for building the ship if the company desired
it. He said ne felt sure that the reason the
com pany did not come up to its agreements
in relation to the payments for the ship
yard was their inability TO raise the money
and not to dishonest motives.
To justice to the company it must bs sta
ted that so far as known it does not owe q
dollar in this city, aud the officers here are
looked upon by those who know them as
honest men,
